Louisiana Late Rent Notice

This Late Rent Notice is built with Louisiana as the governing state. These are the Louisiana landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Louisiana rules at a glance

Rent, late fees & rent increases

The tenant’s core obligations are to pay rent as agreed, use the property as a prudent administrator for its intended purpose, and return it in the same condition except for normal wear and tear (La. Civ. Code art. 2683).

• Late fees — Louisiana has no statutory late-fee cap. A late charge is generally treated as a stipulated-damages clause, which a court may modify only if it is so manifestly unreasonable as to be contrary to public policy (art. 2012). Write the amount and grace period into the lease.
• Rent increases — There’s no statutory rent-increase notice. A fixed-term lease can’t be raised mid-term unless it says so; for a month-to-month lease, the practical route is to give the 10-day notice needed to end it (art. 2728) and offer new terms.
• Rent control — No Louisiana city or parish has rent control. La. R.S. 9:3258 provides that lessors’ rights under the Civil Code’s lease title can’t be altered, abridged, or diminished except by state law.

Ending a Louisiana tenancy

A lease with no fixed term — including a fixed-term lease that has been “reconducted” — ends when either party gives notice (art. 2727). A fixed-term lease is reconducted if the tenant stays in possession for one week after the term ends without either side objecting, and a reconducted lease of a month or longer runs month to month (arts. 2721, 2723). Notice for a residence must be in writing (art. 2729), and the periods count backwards from the end of the rental period, not forwards from the date of notice.

• Notice to vacate — Once the tenant’s right of occupancy ends — for nonpayment, a breach, or expiration — the landlord must deliver a written notice giving at least 5 days to vacate before filing an eviction (La. C.C.P. art. 4701).
• Waiver — A tenant may waive the 5-day notice in a written clause in the lease, letting the landlord file for eviction immediately once occupancy rights end (art. 4701).
• Domestic abuse & stalking — In buildings of six or more units (except owner-occupied buildings of ten or fewer units), a domestic-abuse victim who provides the required documentation may terminate the lease early, owing rent only through the termination date. Act 64 of 2026 (effective August 1, 2026) extends this to victims of stalking and cyberstalking (La. R.S. 9:3261.1).
• Military — An active-duty servicemember with qualifying orders may terminate under the federal SCRA (50 U.S.C. §3955).
